Every time we have travelled with the kids, we always rent a house or a condo. With small kids, it is easier to be in a "home" than a hotel room.
Since we were leaving Alyssa behind for our Disneyland trip, we stayed in a hotel.
When we walked into the room, Jimmy makes a sweep of the room to check it all out. In about 15 seconds he is done and says, "This place is really small. Where is the kitchen?"
